MY GIRL - The Temptations

Simplified chord chart for MY GIRL - The Temptations (karaoke of Atomic Karaoke...), in C# at 108 BPM: 7 chords instead of 14, and 33 changes instead of 51.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, and 18 changes too short for the hand to follow were merged. A diminished chord appears as minor — that is a substitution, not an equivalence: it sounds close when you are playing along, but it is not the same chord. For the harmony as it is, use the full version.
